HEAVISIDE FUNCTION IN PRECALCULUS (WITH SOLVED PROBLEMS)
Introduction to the Heaviside Function
Invented by Oliver Heaviside, a self-taught mathematician, physicist, and electrical engineer.
Denoted typically by a capital letter H.
Small letter h refers to a general function, not the Heaviside function.
Characteristics of the Heaviside Function
Examples of the Heaviside Function
Important Notes
Remember to denote the Heaviside function properly; using a small h is incorrect.
In exam scenarios, problems may involve substituting x for specific values to find answers based on the Heaviside function.
